Milongon

Once Tiros' song 'Milongon' is a powerful commentary on the socio-political landscape, emphasizing the importance of truth, resistance, and the collective power of the people. The opening lines, 'esta demas decir que la verdad no se compra / esta demas decir que la mentira ni se nombra,' set the tone by asserting that truth cannot be bought and lies should not even be mentioned. This establishes a clear dichotomy between honesty and deceit, a recurring theme throughout the song.

The lyrics then delve into the oppressive nature of the state, 'pero si al estado le pinta alguna reprecion / no dejes morir ala gente que siempre esta con vos.' Here, the band warns against state repression and urges listeners to stand by those who have always supported them. This call to action is a reminder of the importance of solidarity and resistance in the face of authoritarianism.

As the song progresses, it paints a picture of disillusionment and confusion, 'no sabes si es para bien, no sabes si es para mal / no sabes que precidente esel que iras a votar.' This reflects the uncertainty and lack of trust in political leaders, a sentiment that resonates with many people worldwide. The repeated reminder, 'vos siemptre acordate que la / gente cuando quiere se hace oir,' serves as a powerful conclusion, emphasizing that when people want to be heard, they will make their voices known. This message of empowerment and collective action is a rallying cry for listeners to remain vigilant and proactive in their pursuit of justice and truth.
